  • Colbert Bump: After Yahtzee professed love for the game, downloads on Steam skyrocketed - the Steam advert for the game even quoted Yahtzee's review, using the Zero Punctuation logo as a kind of Yahtzee Seal of Approval.
  • Executive Meddling: The original player character was a mercenary named Oscar Herrera, and the plot involved Oscar going around Earth cleaning out various locations of undead monsters, getting drawn into a war between undead clans in the process. This plot was deemed to be "too complicated for American audiences" by publisher Dreamcatcher, who doubled the game's budget and development time in exchange for using a story mandated by Dreamcatcher.
